Age of Adepts

The arrival of Merrill's line undoubtedly made the Witch Tower lively.

They also bring a large amount of household goods and daily necessities, which greatly complement the shortcomings of the witch tower.

Let the disciples and apprentices slowly remodel the one or two floors of the witch tower, but Grimm and Cabbie and Merrill hid in the living room on the fourth floor to discuss the latter.

In front of Merrill, Goblin Cabi handed Grimm a lumbar bag containing exactly 120,000 magic crystals that he had previously described. This time, however, it admitted that it was passed on by Alice through the Witch Chamber.

“Alice wouldn't send so many crystals for no reason. What else did she say besides that?” Grimm had a hint of a bad feeling.

“The man she sent also said," Watch out for monsters! "” This time it was Meryl who answered.

And her words creeped Grimm out, and she lowered her head and thought.

Monster attack?

Others may not understand what this means, but when Grimm hears this reminder, he immediately comes to mind with some 'interesting’ stories mentioned in past books.

There are absolutely no shortage of examples of monsters attacking the Great Sorcerer's forces as they compete with the Black Forest for land.

It seems that the monsters who live in the Black Forest are adamant that the way humans pioneer forests profoundly affects the environment in which they live, with all its negative effects. So once humans are discovered entering their territory, they launch attacks with impunity, sometimes even rallying, and systematically attacking human gatherings on the outskirts of the Black Forest.

The Grim of the past sees it only as a land struggle between human wizards and monster lords. Consider yourself cautious and do not touch the surrounding territories of powerful monsters, and they will not attract a strong rebound.

But today, with a reminder from Alice, Grimm had to reconsider the possibility of a monster attack!

Ever since his arrival in the sick woods, he has been hiding very little in the deep underground, much less invading the territory of the surrounding demons. So what has led the demon lords to be intolerant of his existence?

The answer to this question may not be answered by others, but Grimm has a cognitive ambiguity.

Mage Tower!

With the establishment of the Witch Tower, it will inevitably draw free magic energy from the surrounding environment to sustain its own operation. This creates an artificial flow of magic!

The distribution of magic elements is also wide-ranging. The tower is much more extracted, so the magic elements in the area around the tower will be much thinner accordingly. This change, ordinary jungle beasts, is hard to perceive, but for monsters with mysterious abilities, it's like watching the prints on their hands, at a glance.

Seriously, magic creatures are also magic creatures born of intense magic elements, which are also extra sensitive to the flow and variation of elemental particles. How can they allow an outsider to plunder the magic elements on which he depends wildly around his territory?

So when the Elemental Altar is activated, I'm afraid this tower is also the target of collective resentment and hatred among the surrounding demonic lords!

When Grimm figured it out, he immediately summoned the Grigg witch to contact Eva, the forest demon who had been wandering around the sick woods. If not, half a day later, Lin demons returned the message, and the surrounding monsters did move, seemingly slowly approaching the direction of the sick woods.

Grimm, this is why Alice has to work so hard to send 120,000 Demon Crystals, not to support her own tower, but to support her own tower defense!

So far, the Witchtower Element Altar has been operating day and night, and the liquid magic accumulated in the central Element Pool is not even full of the bottom of the Pool. Not to mention the lower branch element pool and the lower power pool, which are still filled with hazy, aerosolic magic energy that is simply not enriched enough to form a magic stock.

Now that most of the free magic elements absorbed by the tower every day are used to maintain and transform the spatial environment inside the tower, only a small fraction of the remaining energy can be imported into the pool of elements to precipitate. If the demons attack, the Witch Tower must support the entire defense system by then… I'm afraid absorption of free magic elements alone will be overwhelming.

Grimm put the chip in charge of the statistics.

If the Witch Tower shuts down all non-essential witchcraft facilities and Buddhist Witch Arrays, then the magic elements gathered in the Element Altar each day will be able to aggregate to approximately 27—28 magic crystals. In this way, however, it would be tantamount to forcing towering wizards and apprentices to endure the invasion of the harsh surroundings.

Without the windows, without the protection of the witch tower, without the environmental regulation, the underground world where the witch tower is located is so dry, boring, yet lonely and desolate, I'm afraid it's hard for everyone to bear!

And if you run Witch Tower Protection, you need to occupy 12—15 Crystals in this area. If the associated witchcraft facility is activated again, the consumption of 20—22 magic crystals becomes essential.

After all, the tower has many secret gates for witchcraft, protective witch arrays, vigilance symbols, and discovery crystals, all of which need to consume magic energy inside the tower as it runs. The energy consumption of the Witch Tower will be even more horrible if you consider the Witch Beast, Statue Setup, and Witchcraft Gardens you may have in the later stages!

The idea of slowly accumulating Demon Crystal for profit by relying on the Witch Tower is childish and ridiculous.

This is also one of the main reasons that most witch towers open only a minimum of witch tower protection in peacetime!

Once the war breaks out and the witch tower defense system opens up, then… the witch tower instantly becomes a large swallowing household. It devours the speed of the magic crystal and makes the tower wizard cry.

And what Grimm is facing right now is that there may be dozens or even hundreds of years of magic energy reserves in other towers. But his witch tower is poor and white, and the warehouse is clean enough to starve to death. And the most critical reserve of Magic Crystals, Grimm, is even less possessive, and the entire Witch Tower has been in the 'FruitBen' state!

Can a witch tower like this fight?

With Kabi's magic crystal in his hand, Grim instantly understood their weight.

This is no magic crystal. This is the life of a witch tower at his feet!

If he's the only one in the house right now, he's got an urge to hold his head and cry. But at this moment, the two men are staring closely at themselves, and even with more anger and grievance, Grimm can only hold onto himself and digest it slowly.

Grimm smiled lightly. (Actually, he wants to cry!

“Things aren't that bad!” Grimm's hand holds his forehead and thinks seriously: “First of all, this tower is not on the ground and will not be so vulnerable to the siege of the beasts. Thus, even if monsters drive away a large number of beasts, they can easily get lost in the dark and abundant underground maze. It's easy to build the first defensive position there! ”

“Secondly, this is just the edge of the Black Forest and there is little chance of second-degree monsters. If it's just a bunch of first-order monsters, with the defense of the Witch Tower, we may have some extra gains to fight back. ”

“The most important thing is that we have a lava sea underneath us. If you piss me off, mobilize the power of the Witch Tower, pull the magma out and pour it into this melting mass, how much power is left to attack the demons? ”

Through rational analysis and tactical judgment, Grimm listed the pros and cons of the battle, and the strange discovery did not seem to be at the point of being completely beaten. It was also at this point that Grimm woke up, and Alice strongly supported the purpose of coming here to build the tower.

This is truly a great place for your own development!

First of all, there is no large family of wizards or overly horrible monsters around, which avoids the troubles of Grimm's rise. Secondly, there is really a hidden volcanic lava sea beneath the sick woods, which is absolutely remarkable for Grimm's future growth.

As long as he can resist this wave of demons, this black forest will become his territory as the rays of the Witch Tower illuminate nearby mountain forests. If the monsters are unable to expel him, they can only leave this place in darkness and relocate their homes further afield.

And there aren't many safe areas in the Black Forest for them to move, so even for their own community's sake, these usually misfitting demons gather together to attack Grimm's witch tower wildly.

So Grimm is about to face an incredibly tough battle of guardianship!

…………

Stone Hammer Ruins.

Thirty miles east of the diseased woods lies a weathered fossil forest.

Eva Lin stands alone on a tall stone column surrounded by weathered broken stone columns or thick or thin, or tall or short.

Standing on stone columns and looking around is a monotonous world made up of yellow and black. Countless canyons, caves and stone forests are covered by the Black Forest Sea, forming a complex terrain and a natural habitat for monsters.

In the dark, I don't know how many dangerous guys are hiding in shadows and caves, watching silently.

Convened by the oldest hunter spider Tura, all the wizard leaders of nearby mountain forests have gathered here to discuss intensely the group of human wizards who have appeared in Scorpion Lion territory in recent days.

Recent magic changes around the sick woods, they can all be experienced.

The unusual shock and loss of that magic element has posed a serious threat to all the monsters present. Even many elderly monsters can bite that human wizards have built a witch tower there without explaining the extraordinary changes in magic in the Black Forest.

Witch Tower!

Mentioning this name, all monsters have to change their face slightly.

This... is a name that all monsters hate and fear!

Because hearing it means monsters pay a huge price for it.

Territory, hunting grounds… even life!
